Good to see you around Jim. Glad I was able to help in some small way. I guess that's why we're all here. Great idea to utilize your E-wheel frame for your tipping machine as well. :D Nice set up. Most of the time I don't use the drive system...though it helps with control on tipping...

Thanks very much PC. In regards to the bead roller/tipping wheel. At times it's used as a bead roller, but we built that machine specifically to bend flanges and create offsets in sheet metal. That particular setup uses a flat lower soft or hard wheel and a sharp upper wheel to bend lips...

Thanks guys! The frame table makes fabricating life soo much easier. Yeah, that's our 'build board' in the background. A temporary breakdown wall that scaled drawings and renderings get posted on while a wire frame buck is being created from it. I'm into designing and building cars as a...
